I don't substantially disagree with any of this but just like some choppers and pips players liked their increased consistency with the new ball even if they disliked Thierry spin reversal, there may be something we are missing that favors the defender in practice. At the highest levels...

Okay. In other words, you must be 2800 to have opinions about table tennis. If not, you are a know it all trying to speak about things you do not understand.

No, because you said that I criticize Archo for doing what I am doing now. I am not a high level player (max rating USATT 2078) so what about my post infers that I am even speaking from the perspective of a high level player? I am presenting my own opinion. I can't even speak for 2400...

Shuki, for one, played in a club where they actually raised the net heights to test the change. I am venturing an opinion just as I have a right to, an opinion which I prefaced with the pronoun "I" to show that it is an opinion. Sometimes, I find it curious how you get rude out of nowhere over...

IT's called the Yasaka Sweden Extra now.

To improve the length and quality of points and of the rallies.

BTW, to stick to the original thread, I don't think that changing the net height will be as big a deal as some make out and I take the view of Jorgen Persson that at some point, we need to stop changing equipment and look at other things if we want to slow the game down.

I guess you can decide whether your argument has merit as many of the styles you listed take advantage of pips, including hardbat and traditional Seemiller. I do not agree that pips should be banned outright, but pips are not allowed to be used in under 10 ( or is it a higher age) tournaments...

I was that kind of player for a while and in some ways I still am so I know exactly what you mean. But I think it is just better to say that you play better vs what you practice against and what you understand. I understand why people complain about pips. At every level, you have to practice...

No, not necessarily. Lower level pips players often take advantage of the fact that their opponents are just inexperienced vs pips. I am not against pips play, but there is no point sugar coating this fact.

Creating nothing balls consistently with inverted at a decent level is a skill. Putting pips on your racket and just taking advantage of the fact that your opponent has never practiced seriously against them is not.

Fantastic match. I think the Super League this year is the coming of age for the FZDs, LJKs, LGYs and YZYs.

The story of my life. When I do it, no cameras are around. When my opponent does it, it is a rated match. Can't get no love... youtu.be/OtM6IgfPWIk?t=377

Today was much rougher - went 4-5. Probably should have sat out at least one match, but our fourth player could not make it today so three of us played 4 matches, which should not happen and is the reason why you get a 4th player. If by some grace of God or more likely some accident I am still...

I thought she was having a bad day but someone else got a different vibe like ttmonster. For me it is hard to play kids with attitudes because these matches often mean far more to them than they do to me.

I was ordered by my teammate to remember that my backhand is the bread winner, not the forehand.:rolleyes:

This one is for DerEchte - shows other people the kinds of personalities we sometimes have in US table tennis.

What a comeback...

28 shot rally at 5:14...

BTW, it might sound crazy but so far, I am playing better with the softer version of Karis on both sides.
